"How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" is a popular children's story intended for young boys and girls under the age of ten. The book features a green, irritable, displeased, cave-dwelling creature who lives atop a mountain in a fantasy world. The Grinch, along with his pet dog, observes from their cavernous home, the Christmas festivities of the neighboring town of Whoville. After 53 years, the creature chooses to finally put an end to the Who's Christmas celebrations, and make Christmas not come. The Grinch decides that in order to suppress the annoying holiday cheer of the Who's, he must sneak into all of their houses and steal their Christmas paraphernalia. He fashions a Santa-like jacket and hat and affixes a branch to the head of Max the dog, and sets off to Whoville to rid the surrounding areas of happiness and joy.

The Grinch sneaks into young Cindy-Lou Who's house, steals the stockings, the presents, food, the Christmas tree, and even the log from the fire, but not before encountering the 2-year old Who. He lies to her saying that he will bring back the Christmas tree after repairing one of the lights. She goes back to bed, and the Grinch leaves to rob all the other houses. He takes his Christmas loot back to the top of Mt. Crumpit. When he reaches the top he hears the merry singing of all the Who's down in Whoville. Christmas did come after all. The Grinch couldn't stop Christmas from occurring, for the day was not about the gifts or the Christmas tree, but about the people and their company.

Based upon the story, the socio-economic structure of Whoville is very complex. They appear to be conservative in some aspects but liberal in others. For starters, the community is very tight-knit, as noted in line 31 of the poem, "Every Who down in Whoville, the big and the small, would stand close together, with Christmas bells ringing. They'd stand hand-in-hand and the Who's would start singing!" There is a low crime rate, based upon the fact that Cindy-Lou Who...

Cambodia has originated from the kingdom of Kambuja, which prospered from the 9th to 15th Century. After the independence from the colonial power France on 9th November 1953, the country was faced with decades of civil war. Many inhabitants died and the economy was hardly damaged. Furthermore, the Vietnam War and the dictatorship of the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979 brought the country economic decline.
Cambodia now has about 15 million inhabitants, of which 95% are Buddhists. The head of state is the King Norodom Sihamoni, who was crowned on 29/10/2004 and governs the country, which is divided into 24 provinces and 1,621 municipalities.
2. Economy
Cambodia has an average income of 801 USD (2010) per head and is a part of the group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Although considerable efforts to reform and massive support from industrialized countries, the basis of the economy of Cambodia is weak. It mainly consists of agriculture. With a population growth of 1.8% per year, the average growth of per head income was about 11% in the last four years. Cambodia is member of ASEAN, which is an association of southeastern Nations of Asia, to improve the cooperation between their economies, politics and social aspects. As you can see in the diagram below, Cambodia generates only 1% of the total GDP (Gross domestic product) of ASEAN. In the HDI ranking (United Nations Human Development Index...

Homework #1
Answer
Demand
1. Between 2001 and 2003, China Mobile’s number of subscribers grew from 90.6 to 141.6 million as the company added subscribers and acquired service providers in the poorer inland regions of China. However, over the same period, its average revenue per user (APRU) fell from 141 to 102 yuan per month and its proportion of subscribers using pre-paid service rose from 48% to 64%.
a. How would the entry of China Unicom affect the demand for China Mobile service?
b. How would China Mobile’s provision of pre-paid service affect the demand for its post-paid (contract) service?
c. Compare the demand for pre-paid service in the inland regions with that in the wealthier coastal regions.
d. Relate your discussion in (b) and (c) to China Mobile’s decline in ARPU.
Answer:
(a) Would lower the demand.
(b) Would lower the demand as some subscribers switch from post-paid to pre-paid service.
(c) If pre-paid service is an inferior product, the demand in the inland regions would be higher.
(d) ARPU is lower for pre-paid than contract service. ARPU is lower in poorer areas than richer areas. Both of these factors explain China Mobile’s decline in ARPU.

...The fact of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is related in Luke 1:26-38. The Evangelist tells us that in the sixth month after the conception of St. John the Baptist by Elizabeth, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to the Virgin Mary, at Nazareth, a small town in the mountains of Galilee. Mary was of the house of David, and was espoused (i.e. married) to Joseph, of the same royal family. She had, however, not yet entered the household of her spouse, but was still in her mother's house, working, perhaps, over her dowry. (Bardenhewer, Maria Verk., 69). And the angel having taken the figure and the form of man, came into the house and said to her: "Hail, full of grace (to whom is given grace, favoured one), the Lord is with thee." Mary having heard the greeting words did not speak; she was troubled in spirit, since she knew not the angel, nor the cause of his coming, nor the meaning of the salutation. And the angel continued and said: "Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob forever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end." The Virgin understood that there was question of the coming Redeemer. But, why should she be elected from amongst women for the splendid dignity of being...

...Van Steenberge and I am currently enrolled as a student at Perrydale High School. I am writing this letter to propose a change in our current economy. My belief is that by adopting a market economy our country will thrive and grow stronger.
By having a free market economy, buyers are free to purchase anything in which they like and however much of that product they want. The seller of the product can also produce whatever they want and also increase the production depending on the forces of market. The producers of products are free to undertake both the risk and rewards with increasing the production of goods. Some advantages to having a free market are the following:
1. Competition between different manufactures leads to increased efficiency; companies want to keep cost of production down and the production high.
2. Encourages producers and consumers to conserve the resources.
3. Provides an incentive to have useful skills and hard work because of the threat of losing jobs.
4. Forces production so people with money who live worldwide can purchase goods, which causes rapid production.
5. More variety of consumer goods becomes available for the people who have money to purchase them.
Whether the society is developed or underdeveloped, a market economy has both many advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantages of a free market economy include:
1. Has the possibility of being very unstable, such as,...
